Their is 2 way to install visual code the first one and the easy one is to

install it via Ubuntu software however i get

Unable to install "Visual Studio Code": snap "vscode" has "install-snap" change in progress.

And i have failed to fix it

The second one is
to go the site https://code.visualstudio.com/download
and download a version for ubuntu.

And use this command to install after position on downloads folder :

sudo dpkg -i code_1.27.2-1536736588_amd64.deb

the name of file of visual code should be the same as that one you download.

after i get the error
Selecting previously unselected package code.

And fix it using the command i get from this link : https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/is...

sudo apt -y install libgconf2-4

after i retype again the command

sudo dpkg -i code_1.27.2-1536736588_amd64.deb

and it installed successfully


All the command used are :
cd ~/Downloads

sudo dpkg -i code_1.27.2-1536736588_amd64.deb
